The Story of a "Prison Wife". Top Story - August 2017.
In the photo above, what do you see? Some would see it as a couple overcoming a task together. Perhaps she couldn't quite make the climb on the rock so she's looking to her partner for support. She has his support as he pulls her up but, if she slips, she could land up bringing them both down. This, like anything in life that involves 2 people requires trust, especially in a relationship. But what if your relationship isn't like anyone else's? Say, for instance, your significant other is incarcerated?

A Kink of Tea
A love triangle between three cups. Now that's something you don't hear of every day. Not just any old love triangle either. What if I were to tell you that there is a possible love triangle happening right now in your very kitchen? You would think I've gone mad. Well, I haven't actually, well maybe I have. Okay, I will admit it I have gone mad, but it was no real secret. I can hear all the cups talking every night.

Letters to a Lost Love
To the one I once loved, I could have lived my life happily, not knowing what emotional abuse was. Then you walked into my life. You carried yourself with courage and self-confidence. I found you daring and dashing. Sadly, it was the walk that kills me when I still see you every day. The walk where you puff your chest out and clench your fists at your side. Despite your colourful personality, you weren’t the prettiest. You were short with pimples covering every inch of your face. Those things didn’t matter to me though. I ignored every sign and every signal. My friends and family told me recognize the power you held in your confidence. To see the hatred you hid behind those beautiful blue eyes. Despite it all, I was convinced you were my future.

A Million Reasons
There we were: standing front row at a concert for our favorite band. He had his arms wrapped around me from behind; although I had such love for the band, I couldn't focus on anything except him. He was so beautiful, his body towering over me and making me feel safe inside, despite the hundreds of people behind me pushing and shoving me towards the barricade. As annoying as this cliché is, he felt like home.

"Make Way" Part Four: Signs
It was a night at the Fat Cat that started it all. The Fat Cat at seventy-fifth, Christopher street. Ping pong, pool, a game of spades, and live jazz performances. Bray had gone because this would be the third chance spending a good amount of time with Nalani. They've met through a mutual friend, Ray Puna, who once had a fling with her (that bothered Bray, in all honesty). It didn't work well, he just wasn't ready to commit to anything, though she was. It left a weird impression on Bray.

Why Second Chances Are So Important
I think it is safe to say that we have all been there. Maybe it was a simple thing you really didn't even realize you did wrong and you were instantly forgiven by some kind soul, or maybe you have been practically on your knees begging for forgiveness after you had done something not even you thought you would do, ever. Either way, I feel we can all relate on this one.

Tear Switch
When I was born I was already crying the wrong tears. You see, depending on the emotion that we’re feeling, each tear is different. Each tear holds the exact emotion that caused the tear to form. The exact feeling that flowed through your brain at the exact moment in which that beautiful little raindrop of your DNA falls down your cheek. Each tear, each emotion, has its own chemistry.

"Make Way" Part Three: Star Stuff
It's been about a week since they last spoke. Bray was in his room, laying on his bed, speaking on the phone with a friend who'd just abruptly become a part of his life, again. The conversation was deliberately slow, he swallowed air for each paced deliverance, and with great effort, held any release of tears and the exhale of heavy emotion. It was a hard moment for him when he had heard tell of Nalani's thoughts on the situation that had transpired between the two of them. He had an idea of what she would say, but hoped for something different.

Ways to Be the Guy She Wants You to Be
There's something really, really wrong about modern dating. At least, that's the general consensus you'll hear if you ask women. Most women are getting increasingly leery about dating and relationships, primarily because the men they're encountering don't treat women as people.
